The steam launch Isaac Hull, one of
the feet of steam launches engaged In
naval cadet practical exercises, was sunk
Yesterday afternoon about five O'Clock OH
Sycamore Point, abreast of this city, while
employed in torpedo instruction, by
torpedo explosion. None OF the crew
were injured The launch. which Is
known as No. Is, left the Academy about
half past fsur in charge of Ensign Muir,
L. S. N, Fireman Suit and Coxswain
Sutherland. The cadets on board, all OF
the first class, were Brown, Scales, Hud-
son. Balinger, Edmunds, Coleman, Berto-
lette and Logan The little steamer is 30
feet long and 10 feet beam, and carried on
its prov 30 foot beam, with an attach
ment about feet in length, on which the
torpedo is placed and lowered into posi-
ton under the water.
The plan of operation is TO set barrel
atioat, put the torpedo in place, lower 1t
under the water and steam up TO the float
ing barrel. When the torpedo arrives at
a point beneath the barrel he torpedo is
exploded. The torpedo-bo had exploded
three torpedoes and shattered one barrel,
and was about to discharge the fourth
torpedo, and was about twenty feet from
the barrel, when the torpedo prematurely
exploded The launch was badly shaken
and in less than two minutes was under
water. Some of the cadets struck out and
swan; others chung TO the boat, which
has since become entirely submerged, ex-
cepting the smokestack. A passing bat
teau belonging to an oysterman named
George Bailey picked up the launch S
crew and transferred them to a Naval
Academy boat A report that the launch
had blown up, and that the crew had
been killed, caused much excitement in
the city The launch was raised this
morning and taken to the Academy for
repairs

Talk of a New Cemetery.

The ladies of the Methodist Churches
are discussing the feasibility of purchas-
ing a new cemetery outside of town. The
plan is thought to be good one by many
who have considered the costeof enlarg-
ing and improving the present cemetery,
which is already in such a condition that
it would require almost as much money
to improve and enlarge it as to purchase
a new one. The ladies of the above con-
gregations are serious in the matter of a
cemetery of their own.

The Feminine Bachelor.

The feminine bachelor is becoming
feature of New York. The feminine
bachelor is young, unmarried
woman, living by herself, or with a
companion like herself, to whom soci-
ETY. by common consent allows an in
dividual freedom never dreamed of by
the chaperoned girl. She is fully ca.
pable OF taking care of herself, and
her numbers multiply every season.
She is an art student, medical
student, she is learning music OF
shorthand. She has literary yearn-
ings ,Sand sends her manuscript to all
the publishers. She is on an indie
pendent footing, comes and goes as
she pleases, holds herself bound to
NO code OF propriety save her own,
and has induced society to accept her
code as for her as good one as could
be. She has com 5aratively few ac-
quaintances of the other sex. Men are
apt to like her and she is apt to like
them, but she is too busy to let the as
sociation 60 very far.
The true feminine bachelor is never
a pessimist. She likes New York she
rejoices in her own perfect freedom,
and she dissipates in a bright, inno-
cent, light-hearted way that is more
like the joviality Of boys and girls
than the dignity OF three decades Of
years. The feminine bachelor goes to
concerts and lectures and to the thea
ter a great DEAL She is always there,
and is the best posted woman on
operas and plays in the city. She
comes alone and she goes home alone,
and nobody molests her or makes her
afraid.-[N. Y. Mail and Express.

Formulation of China. a.

The population OF China is known
to have been greatly overestimated by
the Chinese themselves in the earlier
days OF European intercourse. A
recent Chinese official report places
the number Of inhabitants at 328, ,000,-
600. This agrees quite closely with
the estimates of European statisti-
clans. In 1S42 the population of
China was supposed to be about
418,000,000, but whether there has
been any such decrease as these
figures indicate cannot be known,
though it seems to be much more
probable that the 1912 census returns
were exaggerated. The area of China
proper is less than half that of the
United States and territories, exclu-
sive of Alaska, and yet it contains six
times the number of inhabitants, if
these late official returns are correct.
